Hey there! I'm a seasoned vocalist looking for a band. I write great hooks and have a solid voice (think 30 seconds to mars without the upper octive and more screaming). I've been in my fair share of bands and my current band is being dismantled bc the guitarist is moving to NY. I'm easy to work with (no ego here) and just love good hard rock/ hardcore. I can send samples of my work to anyone who answers the ad. I love me some Thrice, Deftones, Poison he Well, and Sigur Ros. Hit me up and lets make something memorable.
